Dane! Say hi to Leah for me! Haha tell her she needs to Skype me sometime. I’ll go in on this half hour a day deal! I need me some motivation to ride anyway.
MUni time!
Just so everyone knows, I finally updated my blog again and my count. Currently day 75 (haven’t ridden today yet), at approximately…distance 134.7 miles and total time 2013 minutes. I am supposed to have 2220 minutes as of day 74, meaning I am roughly 7 days behind. That being said, I have plans this weekend to go for my first real MUni trip to Enchanted Rock, a nearby park. I haven’t checked if they are biker friendly, but I’m not planning on checking so worse case scenario I can play stupid. It’s a fairly tame trail that can have some steep parts, but I wanted the ability to ride around wherever I may want to if I want to. I’ll try to bring my phone and use the GPS tracker to show what I did, but I don’t know what the signal is like out there so I can’t make any promises.
I’m also going to try and go by REI friday to try on a pair of what are called 5-tens, a company that focuses on climbing shoes but apparently are being used for MUni because they have extremely sticky soles, almost grabbing your pedals for you. The employees are letting me bring in my MUni and see how I like the feel before I make a purchase though, so I’m sure I’ll make their day when I do that.
Thanks for the support thus far, I’m well on my way and working on catching up! The trick now is not to hurt myself before this weekend so I don’t lose the opportunity to clock in a couple to several hours worth of riding if possible.
You should enjoy Enchanted Rock. I went there probably 10 years ago and camped out. I would definitely like to go back sometime. I’m not so sure about unicycling there, but I would think you could do a bit. There are not any formal bike trails to use.
